What style of food is missing in the local dining scene? I donât see a Spanish restaurant. Itâs huge to me, because Spain is so big in food. And I have not seenâŚa lot of Latin American South American restaurants, except mine thatâs Argentine. No Uruguay, Bolivia, Paraguay, etc. South America is a little lost in Cincinnati.
Whatâs your favorite place to take the family? Chandlerâs Burger Bistro on the west side.

Whatâs your favorite place to get a drink? Sundry and Vice. Itâs fun to ask the bartenders to make a drink thatâs not on the menu.
What style of food is missing in the local restaurant scene? Small plates, like State Bird Provisions in San Francisco, where you can pick exactly what you want to eat. Like dim sum but with all different kinds of foods.

Whatâs your favorite place to get a drink? Longfellow. Itâs such a personal place: great drinks, impeccable music, lights are cozy, windows are steamed up. Service is attentive, disarming, and at armâs length, which is classy. No hovering. Tight little munching menu, the beer selection is fresh and worldly. Longfellow is the Kirk Gibson of the 19th century-inspired watering hole!
